MÁIRIN DE BARRA. Irish, Slow Air (3/4 time). D Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). One part. The words to the song begin:

A Mháirín de Barra Máirín de Barra
Do mharaigh tú m'intinn You have deadened my mind
Do chuir tú beo i dtalamh mé And you have left me sad
I gan fhios do m' mhuintir And destitute unknown to my people
Ar mo luí dhom ar mo leaba As I lie on my bed
Is ort 'sea bhím ag cuimhneamh It's about you I am thinking
Is ar m'éirí dhom ar maidin And when I rise in the morning
Mar gur chealg tú an croí dom for you have pierced the heart inside me
